CONFRONT THE ISSUE AND PUT OUT THE FIRE

25/10/07 CONFRONT THE ISSUE AND PUT OUT THE FIRE.

The truth sometimes hurts. However it is important to be aware of the need to support people who fear the truth. Jesus never condemned anyone even though he spoke the truth. The Pharisees hated him for this. You can never control the reactions of another. They react in response to their own guilt. Instead of taking responsibility for their guilt they will direct their reaction to another and blame the other. In this process they damage not only themselves but others. Sin will always cause you to blame others then take responsibility for it. This is why wars are fought because mankind is controlled by sin. One action leads to a reaction and before you know it, the initial action is covered by multiple reactions. The issues concerned are covered up by the reactions and lost in the process. Feelings control further actions and defences are up and cloud the issue. The issue is survival at any cost rather then looking at confronting the sin that caused the reaction. War is inevitable for blame and counter blame has clouded the issue. Always confront the issue and responsibility for it and defuse the situation. Reactions never get you anywhere. It just confuses everyone as you get lost in the cloud of fire and smoke. You are fighting the fire rather then solving the issue. Confront the issue and put out the fire.

LOOK FOR GOD IN OTHERS

20/10/07 LOOK FOR GOD IN OTHERS

Precious is the Lord and His faithfulness and goodness is above measure. He is the crowning glory of my life and in Him I am satisfied. I am His and He is mine and in Him is everlasting joy. I love the Lord and He is the source of all my being and love and life. Without Him I am nothing. In Him I am. I am a person and in Him I feel complete. Therefore as I carry the light of life in me, I am the light of life. This is a most glorious and amazing statement. Jesus said these words and He and I are one just as the Father and Jesus are one. The Holy Spirit now makes this a now experience. This follows that I have the capacity to be like God because God is in me. Yet I know I am human and prone to sin. The sin consciousness will enable me to be more God conscious. When sin tries to control me I have an escape through the Holy Spirit to overcome in the Spirit. Hallelujah what a salvation. So now nothing is impossible for me because God lives in me. God’s address is me as God resides in me. So when I see this then I walk in awe and look for God in others. For every kind of sinful behaviour I will look for the opposite good in the other. A lying tongue hides truthfulness. A jealous heart hides love. I will look for the opposite good in the bad rather then look for the bad in the good. This is a change in perception for I will look for the positives then the negatives. The world will focus on the negatives. Once the negatives are peeled off then the positive will emerge. When you see God in others then you will stop looking for the negative. i

REDEMPTION

1/10/07 REDEMPTION

The Lord is good and His faithfulness is for ever. He is abundant love and His ways are higher then our ways. He is above all things and in Him all your desires will be met. He is the Alpha and Omega and in Him all things have their being. His righteousness will keep you in His ways. He is a God of justice and might. His might will overthrow the rebellion of the wicked and His house will be sanctified. God is moving in these days to claim His people from the ways of this world. God is preparing a bride for the return of His Son, Jesus. All who wait for Him will be satisfied. This waiting is a test of patience for it requires trust and diligence. Only those who are prepared to wait will know the experience of the joy of waiting. Time is not a factor in God’s agenda for He is eternal. You too need to think and move like God to know His mind and purpose. His purpose is to redeem all mankind and not just a few. The time has come for His minions to invade planet earth and redeem all who call on Him. He has made us in His image and our hearts will only be satisfied in Him. i
